3 for 4.

can't stand the stuff, but ppl keep buying them for me and I seem to keep winning and drinking their garbage....
 
2 for 2...coffees. I get one a week only because there are two on my way to the office and no McD's for the good coffee.

Friend is ****** that they changed this year to 'original or dark coffee' instead of just 'coffee'. She drinks French roast and they wont give that on a win (unless there is a specialty that I haven't seen)
 
I've won maybe 6 coffees, and 2 donuts. Ten years ago my best friend won a Toyota on a coffee I bought him. Girl handed me two double doubles, I gave him the wrong one. :)

Nope, I bought him a coffee, I won him a car. He's one of my best friends, younger guy, him and his wife had recently had their first baby. The new car and lack of associated costs really helped them out for awhile. Little things, but that's why we've been friends for 20 years, we look out for each other.

he's gotta be splitting the winning with you on that one


I don't agree. Guy I know got a scratch card as an anniversary gift from a friend. Won $1mil. Gave the friend half. I'm dumbfounded.
If I bought someone a $5 gift, would I expect $2.50 back?? Now that being said, I would probably send the guy $50- $100k. But not half. Nor would I expect anything if I bought someone a ticket. Just the simple act of buying you a coffee; I don't do it with the intent of receiving one in return.

I wouldn't be dumb enough to give a lottery ticket as a gift but if I received one I'm pretty sure, before anything got scratched, I'd have a light hearted and jovial conversation about the consequences in the event of a win. Then I would show him my teeth.
 
I wonder how this works.

How many people buy a coffee in hopes of winning something?

I question if it really generates more sales other than the something new to blab about ads giving them fresh air time.
 
It's meant to get people coming in more and getting used to the brand again for those that have strayed away while it shows appreciation to the regulars.

I had no idea until recently that you get 2 chances to win by roll up on different parts of the cup.

crap, gotta go dig up all those old cups I threw away.....
 
..............shows appreciation to the regulars.

I wonder about that.....as a regular you're drinking it anyway.....and if you have dry spell on winnings(:hello2:) it just might annoy you. It reminds me of the ham fisted way a previous employer used to hand out bonuses. A few people at the sharp end were giddy as all get out and everybody else grumbled about the unfairness of it all. So it cost them money to annoy most employees.
 
No, all the market research shows if you show appreciation to your customers directly they will come back more. Look at Sunny, he got excited and is possibly going through garbage to find out he didn't win anything.

Oh, I'll agree with what the market research shows. Direct appreciation isn't a loosing percentage win rate. All the people grousing about meager winnings at the local Hornys are just outliers and habitual complainers.

We do give lotto tickets as gifts between the siblings. We always add the "10% rule is in effect" in the cards. I mailed my sister a cheque for $0.40 once ?
